A few months ago I woke up with this song in my head. Hey! Don't judge! So I proceeded to YouTube it and honestly, I was super into their outfits! REAL TALK. Awesome 90s layers of crushed velvet, embroidered vests, long coats and cut off shorts.

Recently, Aussie company Woodford & Co. came out with the lookbook for their Winter 2011 line. It totally picked up where the video left off. It made me want to embrace my inner hippie and kick it in Joshua Tree or some sh*t with a camel in tow.

After I saw this mess - I thought I'd seen everything. Until I went to Moderncat. My new favorite/not-at-all cat blog for all things that tickle your catfancy. For example:

In celebration of National Hairball Awareness Day (you can see where this is going can't you?), jewelry designer Heidi Abrahamson brushed her babies everyday and made felted "beads" from their fur. She created earrings, a ring and a necklace from cat fur ('scuse me I just coughed up a hairball from reading this).

I mean, they're a nice design and all - But cat fur? I'm just not quite sure I can go there yet. You can love your pets, just don't love your pets... Nuff said.

It's been a passion of mine since I was a wee lass and my mother taped pieces of paper to my high chair. I haven't been able to stop creating since.

I did the damn thing at 18. Went to art school - got disenchanted - dropped out - and reinstated myself at a school with a more socially aware slant. It was hard to get away from being selfish. Especially when you are a brat in your early 20s.

Many moons passed.

And here I sit, in between the vaudville and the quiet places. Still drawing. Doing it for a living and I feel pretty lucky - though it could always pay more ;-)

Today, I found a blog called THE ONLY MAGIC LEFT IS ART.

I agree wholeheartedly. Here are some of my favorite selections from that blog:
